Muslim Immigration and How to Handle It

The political history of Muslim states has often been restricted to two options. They have either been ruled by nationalist ("secular") oppressive regimes, or Islamist oppressive regimes. Unfortunately, many people in Middle East have so much affinity for political Islam that they do not realize that political Islam is the root cause of their problems. That attitude is the main reason they cannot get rid of their backward and violent regimes, or make cultural or scientific progress.

Sadly, the founder of Islam did not leave behind a humanitarian message to respect people of other faiths and to be on an equal footing with them. What the the Islamic State (ISIS) and other barbaric Islamist groups have been doing to people is horrific beyond words; but it is meticulously based on Islamic scriptures. So it is not the West causing these human tragedies; it is Islam and Muslims.

Members of a culture that murders intellectuals who try to present ideas to improve their societies do not have the moral right to blame its backwardness and bloodthirsty culture on the West.

Muslims should not try to turn Europe, which is being so generous to them, into more Muslim lands. We already have far too much barbarity, misogyny and persecution in the Muslim world. Muslims could do our people an enormous service if instead they tried harder to turn the Muslim lands into Europe-like places.

The Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders has suggested that people who have a passport from an Islamic country, in addition to a Dutch passport, should sign an anti-Sharia declaration. It should state that they do not want to introduce Sharia (Islamic law) into the Netherlands, and that they repudiate all the violent passages in the Koran. New refugee-candidates might also sign such a declaration. If they support Islamic rule, then Europe is probably not the best place for them.

These stipulations are not "discrimination against Muslims," any more than requiring guests to your home to behave politely is discrimination against friends. This is merely the same way that rulers in the Middle East -- the Saudis, and Emiratis, for example -- regard foreigners and visitors. The proposal is a rational and legitimate way to protect European civilization and the lives and liberties of all of its citizens.

Europe needs to protect itself and its liberties unapologetically. Why should Europe be expected to commit suicide and turn into yet another Muslim land where lives and liberties have no value? The ancestors of Europeans paid an extremely high price over many years to give their descendants what they have today. European governments need to protect the security of their citizens as well as their cultural identity and freedoms.

The West should support Kurdistan in its struggle for independence. Such support would be one of the most important steps not only to liberate a progressive and heroic nation but also to help reduce the refugee tragedy in the region.

The heartbreaking photos of Muslim refugees trying to reach Europe have intensified a controversial and urgent issue: The issue of Muslim immigration and how the world should handle it.

"There are 20 million refugees waiting at the doorstep of Europe," said Johannes Hahn, EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations.

Many claim that Europe, facing the crisis produced by the huge influx of Muslim migrants and refugees fleeing mainly Syria and Iraq, should open its doors. But given the realities in Europe and the Muslim world, this suggestion may well be harmful to both the West and to the Muslim world.

One of the most common arguments is that Europe is not doing enough for the Muslim refugees and is actually responsible for the turmoil in Syria as well as the rest of the Muslim world.

The current wars in the Middle East, however, are not the fault of the West. Obviously, the Obama administration and European governments must do more to stop the bloodbath in the Muslim world, but to say that the wars in the region are the product of Western intervention or some other Western "plots" just shows how clueless and ignorant the people who make such claims are about the history of Islam.

Islamic scriptures call on Muslims to wage war on other religions to bring them under submission to Islam. Muhammad, the founder of Islam, said that he was "ordered by Allah to fight men until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger."

In Mecca, Muhammad advocated "la iqra fiddin" -- "[there should be] no compulsion in religion." But when his gift of Islam was not readily accepted, he began to dismiss peaceful co-existence, his message became increasingly intolerant and he resorted to militancy.

When Muhammad moved to Medina, after a more benign life in Mecca, Islam was turned into a military force that apparently intended to rule all aspects of society, including practices such as sex slavery, child marriages, forced conversions, wife beating and commands to kill "the unbelievers." Especially in the later parts of the Quran, Mohammad fully encourages violence against non-Muslims, and their eternal damnation.

Sadly, the founder of Islam did not leave behind a humanitarian message to respect people of other faiths and to be on equal footing with them. By the time Muhammad lived in Medina, his new religion openly advocated dominating others through subjugation, rape, murder and forced conversion. People who followed his teachings first became violent toward peaceful communities and then toward other people around.

When Muhammad failed to leave a clear successor, the omission quickly turned out to provoke violence. For the first few years after his death, members of his own family went to war with each other. In a battle between Aisha, one of Muhammad's several wives, and Ali, his adopted son, thousands of Muslims were killed fighting to the death. So anyone who knows about the history of Islam should not be shocked by the current Muslim-on-Muslim violence.

The actual target of Muslim armies, however, has usually been non-Muslims, and people across North Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia have been exposed to Islamic violence for the last 1,400 years. Regrettably, the violent, repressive and intolerant practices of Islam --against non-Muslims, women and even different sects of Islam -- still runs wild in the Muslim world, and the deep schism continues to this day as the Sunni-Shia conflict.

The latest extension of this tradition of violence has mainly occurred in Syria and Iraq. What the Islamic State (ISIS) and other barbaric Islamist groups have been doing to people is horrific beyond words; but it is meticulously based on Islamic scriptures. It is not the West causing these human tragedies; it is Islam and Muslims.

Unfortunately, many people in Middle East have so much affinity for political Islam that they do not realize that political Islam is the root cause of their problems. This oversight is probably the main reason they cannot get rid of their backward and violent regimes, or make cultural or scientific progress.

Islamic law is a theocratic system in which nothing but Islamic teachings is to be followed. And clearly, classical Islam has clearly had a longer-lasting, more powerful effect on the region than any other religion. A short while ago, the most prominent leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, admitted that the "killing of apostates is essential for Islam to survive," or Islam would not have lasted.

In 2006, for instance, Rafiq Tagi, a Azerbaijani writer and journalist, was arrested after publishing an article entitled "Europe and Us," in which he argued that Europe's humanist and universal values would benefit Azerbaijan more than Islamic values.

Ten days after the article was published, an Iranian cleric issued a fatwa calling for his death. In 2007 he was sentenced to three years in prison. Released on a presidential pardon in December 2007, he was stabbed six times in downtown Baku by an unknown assailant, and died in a hospital four days later.

Members of a culture that murders intellectuals who try to present ideas to improve their societies do not have the moral right to blame their backwardness and bloodthirsty culture on the West -- but they continually do. They blame, for instance, the recent crisis in the region on "the U.S. invasion of Iraq."

The U.S. has intervened in Latin American countries, as in the coups d'état in Brazil in 1964, and in Chile in 1973, but how many people from those countries blew up American targets in retaliation? None. Because, unlike Islam, their religion does not call for jihad, global caliphate, world domination and death to apostates. The U.S. also intervened in Vietnam, but once the U.S. left, the Vietnamese did not begin a civil war. Neither did the Koreans.

Religions obviously have major influences on societies; the religions of, say, Christianity and Buddhism are (usually) more peaceful and humanitarian than Islam. In terms of promoting violence, Islam is by far the most violent and discriminatory. We are talking about different galaxies here.

Unlike Latin America or Asia, there has been unending religious violence and murders in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and other Muslim countries. Those places, however, were already violent and repressive even before the U.S. intervention. The people or administrations of those countries could have cooperated with the U.S. governments to promote liberal democracies and common interests; instead they became suffocated in a cycle of violence and unending violations of human rights -- as they have done for centuries.

Muslim regimes or groups do not need any kind of foreign intervention to resort to violence and human rights abuses. Their history and culture seem to give them enough incentive to commit those crimes daily.

The political history of Muslim states -- including Turkey -- has often been restricted to two options: They have been ruled by either nationalist ("secular") oppressive regimes, or Islamist oppressive regimes. The third option, appearing now, is an extremist genocidal group called the Islamic State (ISIS).

In truth, neither the former "secular" nor the Islamist regimes of Muslims were much different from ISIS. The "secular" Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, for instance, gassed the Kurds of Halabja in 1988, murdering or wounding thousands of people. We have been seeing similar scenes of slaughter in Syria from President Bashar al-Assad's "secular" regime. And the "secular" governments of Turkey have murdered tens of thousands of Kurds, and persecuted Christians, Alevis and Jews.

What makes ISIS different from other Islamist or secular Muslim governments of the Middle East is that, while other regimes try to hide their crimes, ISIS films the crimes it commits and publishes them on the internet.

As these wars in the Middle East escalate, people in the region try to flee elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the rich Arab nations -- including Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain -- do nothing to help their Muslim brethren.

These states are wealthy, as well as geographically and culturally close to the stricken war zones, but they have not offered any financial help, resettlement places, or to take in any refugees.

"We know that Iran is pro-Assad, but why hasn't any "kind-hearted" anti-Assad Arab state (e.g. Saudi) taken any Syrian refugees?"

"Shouldn't countries that spent billions on arming militants (including terrorists) in the name of "liberating" Syrians take refugees in?"

"The only Syrian refugees that got attention in the Gulf states are the vulnerable underage girls they bought in the name of marriage."

The BBC, as well, reported that, "There is a widespread perception that many Gulf states have unwritten restrictions in place that make it hard for Syrians to be granted a visa in practice." Oh, really? Wouldn't it be interesting to know what these "unwritten restrictions" are.

These wealthy states are also not exactly innocent when it comes to the killings and persecution in Syria. They have invested in the Syrian conflicts, and provided financial help for Islamist terrorist groups fighting against the Assad regime.

Given the cultural, linguistic and religious background of the refugees, however, it would seem that many of them could live with their fellow Muslims in those Arab states. Saudi Arabia reportedly has 100,000 air conditioned tents set up that stand empty most of the year, which could house three million people.

Even though big media corporations in the West tend to abstain from covering the problems caused by Muslim immigrants and refugees in the West, it has been unfortunate that some Muslim immigrants rape women in Europe; try to establish parallel sharia systems in their own neighborhoods; demand justice in their own sharia courts; take advantage of the social welfare system instead of seeking work, and occasionally even murder the very people who opened the doors of their countries to them and offered them a privileged life that they could have never had in their own home countries in the Muslim world.

When an illegal alien, for instance, stabbed two Swedes to death last month, the prominent Swedish journalist, Ingrid Carlqvist, wrote:

"Questions flooded the social media. Who are these people that are let into Sweden? How many of them are not innocent victims of war, but in fact war criminals and other criminals, hiding among the refugees? And should we pay billions in taxes to support and shelter citizens of other countries, while some of them try to kill us?"

The same questions are valid for the new refugees at the borders of European countries: How many of them are not innocent victims of war, but in fact war criminals and other criminals, hiding among the refugees?

European governments need to protect the security of their citizens as well as their cultural identity and freedoms. The Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders has suggested that people who have a passport from an Islamic country, in addition to a Dutch passport, should sign an anti-sharia declaration. It should state that they do not want to introduce sharia (Islamic law) into the Netherlands, and that they repudiate all the violent passages in the Koran.

"If they do not do that," said Wilders, "then as far as I'm concerned there is no place for them in the Netherlands... We can't have hundreds of thousands of people in the Netherlands who want to introduce the Sharia. You have to accept Dutch democracy and renounce the Sharia. I want them to come out and publicly declare that."

New refugee-candidates might also sign such a declaration. If they support Islamic rule, then Europe is probably not the best place for them. And if they commit crimes -- such as rape, murder or attempting to establish Sharia rule -- they should be instantly deported.

These stipulations are not "discrimination against Muslims," any more than requiring guests to your home to behave politely is discrimination against friends. This is merely the same way that rulers in the Middle East -- the Saudis, and Emiratis, for example -- regard foreigners and visitors. The proposal is a rational and legitimate way to protect European civilization and the lives and liberties of all of its citizens.

Why should Europe be expected to commit suicide and turn into yet another Muslim land where lives and liberties have no value? How many more "Charlie Hebdos" is Europe supposed to experience to prove that its suicidal "multicultural tolerance" is suicidal over and over again?

Europe needs to protect itself and its liberties unapologetically. The ancestors of Europeans paid an extremely high price over many years to give their descendants what they have today.

Moreover, Muslims should not try to turn Europe, which is being so generous to them, into more Muslim lands. We already have far too much barbarity, misogyny and persecution in the Muslim world.

Muslims could do our people an enormous service if instead they tried harder to turn the Muslim lands into Europe-like place -- as Kurds have been trying to do.

Today, Kurds are the only Muslim nation that is seriously fighting political Islam -- with their lives. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq has been trying to protect religious minorities. Thousands of Christian families have fled violence and threats in other parts of Iraq and found refuge in the Kurdistan Region. In the KRG there are a large number of Christians of different denominations, as well as tens of thousands of Yazidis.[1]

If there were an independent Kurdistan, the Kurds would be able to make the region even better. Kurds in four parts of Kurdistan -- through their struggle against ISIS and other Islamist groups -- have proven that their resistance would bring liberty not only to Kurds, but also to other persecuted minorities in the region.

But as the Kurds have been mostly left alone in their fight against Islamist tyranny, many, in both Syrian and Iraqi Kurdistan, are trying to flee elsewhere, as refugees. If Kurds had a safe and independent state of their own, they would not have to search for other places to run when attacked by genocidal groups or regimes.

The West should support Kurdistan in its struggle for independence. Such support would be one of the most important steps not only to liberate a progressive and heroic nation, but also to help reduce the refugee tragedy in the region.

The main offenders for the current refugee crises in the world are the Muslim regimes and masses that have done little to save their lands from Islamic violence and tyranny.

No matter where Muslims go, it is Muslims themselves that will have to struggle and change their societies for the better. As history indicates, such a venture will require much hard work, re-thinking and self-criticism. If the Azerbaijani journalist Rafiq Tagi had been allowed to live, he might have provided wonderful insights as to what Muslims could do to stop the persecution in the Muslim world, to promote science, and to help create better lives for all Muslims in the region.

Uzay Bulut, born and raised a Muslim, is a Turkish journalist based in Ankara.

[1] In December 2014, Kurdish President Massoud Barzani called on Iraqi Christian victims of ISIS "not to leave Iraq": "The enemies of humanity, peace and coexistence do not want you to stay in this country," he said. "My dear brothers and sisters, please do not think of leaving this country. Your hope must be high. Staying in Iraq will break the goals of the terrorists."

Barack Obama has kept us sleeping, but I believe as someone that is guilty of sleeping but woke up, Donald Trump will help wake others up and stop Muslims from their goal of murderous and total evil control of humanity.

I am not expert in Islam, but I have been educating myself over the past couple of years and much more recently. Prior to living in the UK for 3 years I am from Canada where I never gave a thought to Islam. Now I see the threat that it is from living here. When I read such excellent articles as this I cannot help but wonder why mainstream media will not promote the truth as Uzay has laid it out. From everything I have read and studied on Islam this article well represents the situation. And it should strike fear into Western civilization but it doesn't because most people are not like the few of us who seek knowledge. Thank you for summarizing the situation so well.

What an inspiring article Uzay, this should be compulsory reading in the West by the incompetent politicians that rule us. If the Muslim world would get rid of their blame the West and were the victims syndrome and put into place what Uzay has written then maybe we could be rid of this scourge on society.

This is a very good article, especially giving the reader a potted history of the Islamic religion.

What is happening now around the world is sheer chaos and how it will all end is anyone's guess. Where is Assad in all this? What a coward he has turned out to be, no consideration for his people and country and the damage done to it.

Living in a country where there has been a big influx over the years of Muslims, they do not try to integrate with non-Muslims, have their own schools, yet are quite happy to take advantage of a free NHS system. This is where the danger lies, the lack of integration.

Does anyone remember the battle of Poitiers anymore? Let alone the fall of Constantinople? At Poitiers, the European king Charles Martel (the Hammer) had the courage to stop the advance of the Muslim Moors into Europe (sadly, unlike the Byzantine capital of Constantinople - the eastern gate of Christendom) and quite possibly have saved medieval Europe from being overrun by an early but just as militant Islam. Had it not been for the Franks under Martel, the grand civilization that Europe became in modern times might have never been. Now we are faced with another Poitiers moment, yet this time it's not Umayyad cavalry storming across Europe, but a "refugee" hijra. History repeats itself. Does anyone in European leadership other than the Danes, Dutch, Hugarians, and Czechs read their history? When will a modern Martel come forward with the courage to stop this new invasion of historically Christian and civilized Europe?

BTW, I'd like to know what Russia will do. It's the largest orthodox nation in Europe and I don't think the native Russians will put up with militant peoples setting up Mosques and such next door. Islam hopefully will learn the lessons of Napoleon and Hitler. If the spirit of Charles Martel fails to return to European leadership and native citizens, then can the Russian bear be counted on to save Christendom?

Not just the Muslims, who run-for-the-gun over every issue, who oppress everything that can bring some happiness to humanity and in the name of a religious/legalistic system that dates back to 7th century and has never done anyone ever, does no-one, even the devout followers any good at all in this world. The blame for this mess belongs also to the weak, liberal so-called humanitarians that do not have the courage or common sense to realise that the very nations that were built, fought and sacrificed for by their own parents and grandparents should not be overrun by peoples that ultimately want to overthrow their countries with this savage, brutal and murderous ideology. Of course, God is in control but then, God has the power and the answer to the dilemma that these always-so-clever liberals cannot solve. The real problem is that they don't believe that a righteous and loving God even exists. As a result of this foolishness they have no perception of the spiritual war in progress that is as obvious as daylight to Christians and Jews and thus they have no will or means fight against it. Satan thrives on ignorance and will always outwit the worldly wise. Unless the Europeans repent and turn to the real God and do it soon, there will be no more Europe, European culture, no more freedom of anything, no more love in the world and they will soon be another oppressed, poverty stricken, piece of a despotic caliphate. Satan has them in his grip already and they don't even realise it.

Very well written. It is sad that the "mainstream media" overlook what is NOT happening in the rich gulf states -- refugees are not welcome regardless of their faith. Charity is one of the pillars of Islam which means that the rulers (gulf states) are hypocrites. These states intentionally refuse to help their brethren. And, no one, in the Arab world, wants anything to do with the Palestinian problem, they are content to let Israel deal with the it (problem.) Muslims only have to look into the mirror to see who is at the root of their problems.

Regarding Mr. Geert Wilders statement above, history will show that even his ideas are too soft and perhaps too late to effectively deal with the ideology of Islam. And he is the target of Muslim cleric fatwa's! I wonder what the fate of anyone suggesting that Islam must be contained within it's current borders and stopping it's current invasion of the non Islamic world would be?

Any kind of signed statement by a Muslim cannot be counted on to reflect his or her true feelings and or intent because the Koran insists that it's Islamic adherents lie to, cheat and steal from; and, humiliate, enslave and kill... anyone who is not Muslim ...or Muslim enough! The so called prophet told us so and this is what he did. ISIS is only doing the bidding of and following in the footsteps of Mohammed!

Masquerading behind a cloak of religiosity is the Trojan Horse that Islamic Jihad is riding into our culture upon! When a critical mass of Jihadists have invaded us, off comes the benign religious cloak and out come the knives to cut our throats ...even those of the Leftists, Retro-gressives, Liberals and others now foolishly welcoming them into our midst!

The Islamic Culture and Ideology is incapable of doing anything constructively significant ... which it has proven over and over for 1400 years. Only with the assistance of naive leaders like yourself and our petro dollars do they now seriously threaten us. Take away Islam's financial underpinnings by freeing up ALL of our natural resources so we can help the entire Western World become energy independent from the Middle East; and physically stopping their individual and collective Jihad in its tracks NOW ... is what we need; not some fine sounding but useless platitudes and handwringing!

Only leaders who understand that we are in the midst of the Longest War ...what in truth is really still the first 'World War' ...1400 years old ... can do this! The PC Police need to step aside and let the adults take over, if Western Civilization and all its benefits to humanity is to survive!

What a superb article this is. Let's hope that the right people, i.e. politicians, etc.) can bring themselves to read it.I would like to point out that in Genesis 17 (verses 12-16) this situation is explained from many thousands of years ago. Abraham's wife Sarah could not conceive a child as his heir and therefore it was suggested that Abraham should take Sarah's handmaiden and make her pregnant instead. (I must say that I think Hagar the Egyptian handmaiden was not treated fairly and I do sympathise with her.) Hagar bore Abraham a son and named him Ishmael and he became the "father" of the Arab races. However the Bible states that Ishmael was destined to be a wild man who would fight with everyone and everyone would fight with him. In fact, everything happening in today's world appears as some sort of prophecy in the Bible.

The article is a must-read among Muslim immigrants. They should read it with open mind and accept the reality that Muslim religions or sects does not advocate peace among humanity but rather to subject it to the whims, bigotry and revenge of their revered prophet Muhammad. Muslims should wake up from their stupor.

Geert Wilders' suggestion that Mohammedans should sign an anti-Sharia declaration which should state that they do not want to introduce Sharia (Islamic law) into the Netherlands, and that they repudiate all the violent passages in the Koran, is all very well, but for the fact that, as far as a Mohammedan is concerned, telling a lie to a non-believer that will benefit Mohammedanism is, in the eyes of Allah, not a lie at all, and, indeed, such lies are to be encouraged. In the event such a declaration is signed, a reason for expelling an offender is clearly present, but, imagine the outcries of the so-called progressives were expulsion to be enforced!

Dear Mr. Bulut,

Another masterful article, with which I concur almost totally.

Just one tiny correction, if I may.

Jews were treated extremely well under the Ottoman Empire. And except for a bit of problems in the 1940s and 1950s, re. the 'Be Turkish, Speak Turkish' campaign, in which those who spoke foreign languages, such as Greek, Kurdish, Armenian, Ladino, Bulgarian, were pressured, sometimes including violence, to speak Turkish, Jews were well treated under the secular Republic of Turkey.

It is really only under the present Islamist regime in Turkey, that Jews are being treated badly and accused of dual loyalties, etc.

With that tiny caveat, I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Bulut's timely article.

A Happy Jewish New Year to all.

Why not re-deploy the UNRWA (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency) organization to do some useful work looking after real refugees for a change? They have been involved in perpetuating the war between Jews and Muslims for years as they feed the hate by Muslims for Jews who see no choice but to defend their land and people against the kind of destruction and death brought to us by fanatics in Hamas, Hezbollah and ISIS.

I would question if the real refugees in Syria-Iraq, the Christians, Kurds and minority groups being tortured, enslaved and killed by ISIS are the ones who are flooding Europe at this time. It seems that there are quite a few economic migrants and others taking advantage of the opportunity to get away from the countries they have made into Islamic anti-freedom zones.

The leftists are using this crisis to beat on Western governments and to unseat Conservatives who want to screen the refugees before opening the floodgates. In Canada, the NDP and the Liberals hold the Conservative government responsible, not ISIS, for the carnage in a ridiculous ploy to win an election that is taking place at this time. Leftists would never hold terrorists responsible. In Canada the CBC will not allow their journalists to say the word "terrorist."

The Left always uses these social issues to expedite hard-core socialism, tax and spend at an unsustainable rate and then make alliances with terror nations such as Iran so that Iran can enjoy the nuclear advantage as the Left cries out for unilateral de-militarization of our own western nations (new West-hating Jeremy Corbyn of the Labour Party in Britain knows to whom I am referring).

The present crisis caused by the migration of people from Islamic states to the west has highlighted the total failure of Islam to ultimately do anything other than force submission. This applies to Islam both in the political and religious spectrums. In both spheres of its influence it relies on oppression. Dissent or even debate is not allowed. The wilfull obduracy of Western politicians' refusal to recognise the truth is setting the course for a disastrous upheaval in European demographics.

Europe today resembles the Titanic; a sinking ship with no leadership in sight. It is being inundated by Muslim masses who do not have the slightest intention whatsoever of integration or assimilation.

The attack in London a couple of years ago on the underground was carried out by young Muslims who were born and raised in England, they weren't recent arrivals to the country. The Muslim youths who routinely set fire to cars in the suburbs of Paris are not recent arrivals to France, they are born and raised in France. So much for assimilation and integration! Europe right now is being overrun by Muslim hordes from North Africa and the Middle East who are desperately trying to get in. It seems to be pretty much the case also with countries like the USA, Canada and Australia; the entire Western world is being overrun by Muslim hordes, and there is no end in sight. There is apparently no politician anywhere to be seen who has anything to say about the chaos we are witnessing right now.

Except perhaps for the Prime Ministers of Hungary and the Czech republic. Europe is going to see much more violence in the future, more terrorist atrocities committed by young Muslim thugs, as they have demonstrated so clearly that Islam is completely incompatible with Judeo-Christian values and the Western intellectual ideals. The mass media here in Western Europe where I live have of course also nothing to say about the current migration crisis, or rather the consequences of it, which will become apparent in due course when terrorist attacks will be the order of the day.

Kudos to the Prime Ministers of Hungary and the Czech Republic who have the guts to say what many others in Europe are thinking, but are afraid to say out loud for fear of being labeled as racists.
